Lucas turned and stumbled back toward his bedroom, collapsing face-first onto the bed, completely drained of energy.

Aveline glanced around before starting to search for the first aid kit. After a few minutes, she finally found it beside the TV cabinet. She pulled out a thermometer and walked back into the bedroom. "Let's check your temperature first."

She approached the bed and aimed the digital thermometer at Lucas' forehead. The reading quickly appeared on the small screen-39 degrees Celsius.

Definitely a high fever.

Aveline found some fever-reducing medication, filled a glass with water, and returned to the bedroom.

"Lucas, take the medicine."

The man lying on the bed didn't respond.

She placed the water and pills on the side table and gently pushed his shoulder. Still no reaction.

"Lucas?"

Aveline reached out to touch his face. The moment her fingers brushed his skin, she felt a wave of intense heat radiating from him. Before she could react, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she was pulled onto the bed. Lucas' fevered body pressed against hers. "What are you doing, Lucas?"

Aveline tensed, her hands pushing against his chest, trying to keep some distance between them.
